…‘Why we haven’t evacuated Nigerians abroad’

The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Umar Farouq, yesterday said the Federal Government had identified over 11 million poor Nigerians to benefit from the palliatives to cushion the harsh effects of the coronaviru pandemic. Speaking in Abuja at the briefing by the presidential task force on COVID-19, she said the ministry had “11,045,537 individuals, 35 states, 453 local governments, 4,946 wards, 47,698 communities and 2,644,495 households on the national social register of poor and vulnerable households.”

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, said though some countries had evacuated their nationals from Nigeria, the Federal Government was yet to evacuate Nigerians from other countries owing to diplomatic procedures. He noted that evacuations had to be done within the framework of the embassies. “As at now (Tuesday), that there have not been any requests from any of our embassies indicating any significant numbers of Nigerians to leave, and if we receive such notification, we would act accordingly,” he said.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation and Chairman of the task force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, said that the government would issue the restriction protocol and exemption guidelines of the lock-down in FCT, Lagos and Ogun States over the COVID-19 global pandemic.

“We’ve just begun the first day of restrictions in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja. We’re observing developments around the country as we receive reports.

The PTF has however met with the security chiefs to smoothen the rough edges of implementation and within the first day of implementation and an appropriate restriction protocol and exemption guidelines will be issued. “The coronavirus has not only attacked our health as people; it has also attacked our wealth as a nation,” he said.

Hmmm

When will the tax payers ever going to benefit from the govt?

Another way to fund the poor in the North. This ought to be shared based on effects on each state.

Lagos people for example should have the largest share as they are the most hit and most affected by the Lockdown.

All those who sell loaves of bread on the road, cold soft drinks and gala are not included on that list. These are struggling Nigerians, not the beggars in the North waiting for free food.

At such a time as this. Every body should be catered for except those who think they don't need federal govt help.

In the US for example, those who earn 75k or below are entitled to $1200 while those who earn above $75k are entitled to $2400 every month.

Here in Nigeria, we always give out money to an imaginary poor people who do not contribute anything to the economy and give no benefits of any kind to those who actually pay their taxes and struggle to work.

80% of the poor are in the north....that's where the money is going but there are only few affected states in the north.

Federal Govt is your government ONLY FOR THE POOR??

Why not share these cash using the Bank or a Trusted NGO in collaboration with the Socalled Local Government Chairmen?

Useless govt

How will this foolish govt ascertain the poorest amongst Nigerians

And the 11million poorest Nigerians according to FG are:

Mohammed
Sani
Danjuma
Amina
Bello
Ahmed
Aisha
..........etc

And the rest of the money dives into pockets of politicians

Northerners always gain the most while they contribute nothing to Nigeria

Silly people

What I don't understand is, who are the poor Nigerians?

This is another avenue for some set of people to enrich themselves. We don't have a database, so how does this works?

The poorest I know are in some part of the country, is this particularly for them?

It's a shame a country calling herself giant of Africa with a lot of genius can't boost of database.

Fellow citizens of the world
We have been brave so far to fight the "unseen enemy" and I believe we will soon win this war
Like every war, there will be casualties,
I'm reaching out to my people in USA, because this coming weeks , we will probably see the death tolls increase drastically.

Another problem we are facing globally is climate change.
And since we've failed to act to reduce the impact on our planet,
We are going to start seeing the effects, strange weather and deadly earthquakes

In the face of all these,
We have to come together as one world
This is the time to become one planet and face our problem with one approach

Anything he does, they criticise him.

Who can now satisfy these people?

I am very optimistic about this words of his. About 11m Nigerians are definitely gonna get palliatives.

Nice work Mr. President.

Anything for now is of importance.
